Advocacy

Public Advocacy

With the help of our supporters the
GGFC funds top experts from across the Globe to talk at public
events and meetings regarding GMOs and pesticides.

We try to avoid ‘preaching to
the converted’ and instead get involved with policy events
that target a wide selection of the general public, politicians and
commercial companies.

The biotech industry has
successfully managed to make its voice heard at events in cities
worldwide through paid speakers. The
GGFC aims to create a top quality opposition to these speakers by
allowing, until now poorly funded experts, to both inform and
educate.

Government Advocacy

The way the GGFC interacts with
different governments on GMOs depends on the legal and regulatory
framework in each country.

Our Advocacy power as a coalition is much stronger in comparison with the current advocacy power
of our component organisations - The GGFC engages with
governments on many fronts, from consulting on GMO regulation to
reacting as a group to changes that take place in international trade
agreements concerning GMOs.

The GGFC aims to maintain
dialogue with all relevant government agencies, ministries and
regulatory departments at every stage.

The Advocacy part of the GGFC’s
work is a long-term goal and we will regularly inform our partners of
where we are building advocacy networks.
